The two hardest parts of this are being in the dark due to the lack of timely information and plain old exhaustion from it all.

NOT really a good idea. Rain is most likely to bring more thunderstorms=more fires!! Substantial rain, without lightning would definitely be good, but not likely.Praying for rain!
I'm back home and I'm pissed. The Airmen at the checkpoint on our road haven't been issued any type of mask. So when I got home I grabbed a couple of N95 masks for them and a couple of breakfast sammies I picked up on the way back from town.
The AP's that were there yesterday didn't have masks either and that's bulls...!
So it's back to standby mode. Hopefully the backfire will save our little slice of paradise.
TBH, I'm more scared that the house will be saved but surrounded by a burned out forest. I'd have essentially a total loss, but probably lots of privacy.
I'm posting my thoughts as honestly as I can because this is an excellent scenario to check preps and contingency plans and I want other folks to be able to learn from my decisions and actions whether they work or not.
After all, where we go one, we go all.
Fine. Then I'm praying for snow. Hang in there GOG!NOT really a good idea. Rain is most likely to bring more thunderstorms=more fires!! Substantial rain, without lightning would definitely be good, but not likely.

ALL PREVIOUS INFORMATION | <broken link removed>
All residences on the west side of Riverbanks Road between Shan Creek Road and 6050 Riverbanks Road, including 6050 Riverbanks and Rocking Horse Drive, are being upgraded to a Level 2 "Be Ready" Evacuation.
A LEVEL 2 "BE SET" evacuation notification means that you must be prepared to leave at a moment's notice.
Just got the phone call. Level 2 means be ready to go. There's a fire near here that's been steadily growing since yesterday.
It sucks living in a wildfire danger area during fire season.
So if I disappear for a while, you'll know why.
I'm going to get our bug out stuff together and be ready to go.
If you pray, please pray for all of us in its potential path and for the firefighters risking their lives.
Thank you for the update, keeping you, yours family, neighbors and firefighters in our prayers!We evacuated at midnight last Friday and have been staying with the same friends at their ranch. There's no internet there so I'm completely out of the loop.
Official communication is not good and we're all in the dark most of the time.
The Taylor Creek fire became so large that it was broken out the Garner Complex and is now a separate fire.
They seem to have stopped the fire's direct run at us but the fire is trying to take to the ridges above our canyon. So it's still bad.
Thank you everyone for the thoughts and prayers. Please pray for the firefighters and all the folks helping out. It's a massive undertaking.
I'll check back in when I can.
Prayers for you guys!
Let us know if you guys need any thing!
